Sushil Modi writes second letter to Nitish Kumar for occupying 2 government bungalows

Former Bihar Deputy CM Sushil Modi has shot a second letter to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar over the latter holding two bungalows in his capacity as the Chief Minister of Bihar. Nitish Kumar at present hold two bungalows, one the official Chief Minister bungalow at 1 Anne Marg and another bungalow at 7 Circular Road which was allotted to him in capacity as former CM after he resigned from CM post following his party's Lok Sabha poll drubbing in 2014.

Nitish since then has been staying at 7, Circular Road bungalow and did not shift to the official CM bungalow even after he became CM again in 2015 after dislodging incumbent CM Jitan Ram Manjhi and later again becoming CM after winning the Assembly elections in 2015.

'WASTAGE OF PUBLIC MONEY'

In his second letter, Modi has alleged that Nitish Kumar holding two bungalows was wastage of public money. Modi said that if Nitish was holding the official CM bungalow at 1 Anne Marg simply for official work, then Nitish should pass an order in this regard that 1 Anne Marg was now CM Secretariat and 7 Circular Road bungalow the official CM bungalow.

Further, attacking Nitish Kumar, Modi has cited the Jitan Ram Manjhi's case where he has been allotted a bungalow at 12 Strand Road in his capacity as former CM. Modi said if Nitish is holding two bungalows in capacity as former CM and incumbent CM, in that case Manjhi should also be allotted another bungalow as a sitting legislator also.

"Holding two bungalows as former CM and incumbent CM is like drawing salary and pension at the same time which is wrong," Sushil Modi said.

'DO NOT MAKE IT PRESTIGE ISSUE'

At the end of the letter, Sushil Modi has requested Nitish Kumar not to make the two bungalows as prestige issue and shift to the official CM bungalow and vacate the bungalow he is staying in at present.

Sushil Modi had written the first letter to Nitish on June 5 and sought a reply from him but instead it was the Building Construction Department that sent a reply to him. This prompted Modi to write a second letter to Nitish demanding him to vacate his present bungalow and shift to 1 Anne Marg.
